Upcoming Workshops by Dr. Burns

Many existential therapists believe that the fear of death is at the root of a great deal of anxiety, if not all anxiety. My clinical experience has not been consistent with this notion. I’ve had nearly 40,000 therapy sessions with patients struggling with anxiety, and very few had the fear of death.

But I have seen three kinds of patients who were afraid of death:

Patients with panic disorder who think they’re on the verge of death during their panic attack

Obsessive patients without panic disorder who are preoccupied with the fear of dying.

Patients with terminal illnesses.

In my experience, all of these categories are pretty easy to treat.

Panic Attack Patients: Some individuals have panic attacks that are triggered by the belief that they are about to die or pass out. In my book, When Panic Attacks, I described a woman name Terri who had struggled with terrifying panic attacks for ten years prior to seeking treatment with me in Philadelphia. She was cured in six minutes when I used the Experimental Technique, which is arguably the most powerful technique ever developed for the treatment of anxiety.

The Experimental Technique is simple, but it requires a lot of courage on the part of the patient AND the therapist. You encourage the patient to do a test of the thought that is triggering the depression or anxiety. During each panic attack, Terri told herself that she was on the verge of a massive heart attack and that her windpipe was about to close off so that she wouldn’t be able to breath. If you had thoughts like that, and you believed them, you’d feel panic too!

With Terri’s permission, I induced a massive panic attack in the office, and then persuaded her to test her belief that she was having a heart attack by doing strenuous aerobics in the office. The video is mind blowing, as you see her going from sobbing and terror to uncontrollable laughter in just six minutes. And that ended ten years of misery.

Of course, the Experimental Technique is not a formula, since the experiment that every patient does will be different. That’s because we all have our own, unique negative thoughts when we’re struggling with depression or anxiety. Jumping jacks is NOT a treatment for panic attacks, depression, or anything else!

I hope to show the Terri video in my upcoming, May 19, 2019 workshop on the treatment of anxiety. If you think you might like to attend, you can find some information below.

Panic Disorder has become one of the easiest forms of anxiety to treat. Some panic patients do not fear death, but the fear of losing control and becoming insane. This fear can also be treated quickly with the Experimental Technique, but the experiment will be radically different. IN addition, the Experimental Technique is only one of many techniques that can lead to rapid recovery from all forms of anxiety, and not just panic attacks.

Patients without panic attacks who fear death. These patients can usually be treated rapidly as well. You’ll find out how in this ten-minute podcast on overcoming the fear of death! If you fear death, or have patients who are afraid of death, try the simple and fast method I describe in the podcast. You’ll probably think it couldn’t possibly help—and then you may discover that your fear of death has suddenly disappeared!

Patients with a terminal illness. These patients are usually also very easy to treat, since the thoughts that trigger their feelings of anxiety and depression are nearly always distorted. If you’d like to listen to a live therapy session with a dear colleague who was diagnosed unexpectedly with stage 4 lung cancer, click this link. I think you’ll find the session with Marilyn incredibly inspiring, and surprising as well. Or, to use a term Marilyn used—mind blowing!

Although we treated Marilyn in a single session, we broke it up into three podcasts. Here are the links to the others:

Below you’ll find descriptions of three upcoming workshops on the treatment of depression and anxiety. I hope to see you at one of them!

One last thing! Although very few of my patients have feared the death that comes at the end of our life, almost all have feared the “Great Death” of the “ego,” or “self,” that happens when we are still alive. There are, in fact, not one but four Great Deaths, and they each lead to a different type of enlightenment that correspond to recovery from depression, anxiety disorders, relationship conflicts, and habits and addictions. I even have a chapter on these four Great Deaths in my new book, which is nearing completion. The chapter is entitled, “How to Join the Grateful Dead!”

Do you know how to predict and prevent suicide?

Treating people with depression and anxiety is, for me, and hopefully for you, an incredible privilege, and a source of tremendous personal satisfaction. I feel lucky to have career that is so amazingly rewarding–but there’s a dark side to our work.

Experts tell us that 10% to 15% of chronically depressed patients will eventually commit suicide, even if they receive the best available treatment. Suicide is a horrible tragedy for patients, their families, and their therapists as well.

The impact can be devastating. Therapists typically struggle with feelings of intense loss, anxiety, failure and shame, and may also face the horrors of a humiliating and enraging malpractice suit which can drag on for years. Family members, friends, and therapists may struggle with this tragedy for years, or even decades, without resolution or relief.

Most therapists avoid talking about patient suicides due to feelings of anxiety, guilt and shame, and the fear of being judged. In case you missed it, you can still listen to David’s August 18, 2018 Feeling Good Podcast on suicide prevention and learn how to protect yourself, your patients, and their families from this horrific outcome.

You will learn what works–and what doesn’t–and you may save patient lives. You may also save yourself from a great deal of grief as well, so you can truly enjoy your clinical work without the fear of losing a patient in this terrible way.

If you want to take a deep dive into this subject, check out this May 15, 2017 blog on Suicide prevention as well. This may be anxiety provoking in the here-and-now, but may save you from far greater pain somewhere down the road!

This blog is part of a new approach I am using to send out blogs on topics of importance, with links to learn more, based on my previous podcasts and blogs. I hope you like it! let me know what you think. In addition, I have to thank a TEAM therapist and podcast fan, Angela Poch, for helping to make this a possibility!

Today, with the help of two incredibly helpful colleagues, Masha Voronin and Angela Poch, I have made tremendous improvements to my website that may be of great interest you as well as your patients.

First, at the following link, you’ll find all the Feeling Good Podcasts listed from number 1, right up to the latest, with links, and the length of time in minutes. When you click on a Podcast of interest, you will go directly to the show notes as well as the show.

Second, on that page, and every page of my website, you’ll find an awesome new search tool in the upper right hand corner. You can type in some topic of interest, like “suicide” or “cognitive distortions” or “Five Secrets of Effective Communication,” and it will list all the relevant podcasts and blogs. You will find filters, too, so you can search just in the podcasts for example.

Check it out. I am so excited about this incredible improvement. You can now easily assign certain podcasts as homework for your patients who are working on certain kins of problems, and you can also use the search function to look up podcasts on some technique you want to learn, like “Feared Fantasy,” for example.

I am super psyched and so grateful to Angela and Masha! Let me know what you think and if you want more changes!

The search function and clickable list of podcasts have been a dream for a long time, and now these tools are a reality!

The Awesome Anxiety Workshop is Coming in May!

I want to thank so many of you who attended the workshop on Unwanted Habits and Addictions by Drs. David Burns and Jill Levitt which was streamed live on Sunday, February 10, 2019. It was our biggest workshop turnout by far, and it was pretty amazing. Half way down you will find some information about our upcoming anxiety workshop in May. We have a large registration already, so move fast if you want to be included. Also, the two summer intensives will be here before you know it!

The following is a kind report on the workshop last Sunday that I received from one of our beloved online participants.

Dear Drs. Burns and Levitt,

This was my second online workshop with Drs. Burns and Levitt, and I must say that I was extremely satisfied with both of these fantastic training programs. The workshop this last Sunday was brilliantly conducted, and the learning experience was just amazing.

Even now as I am reflecting on it, I realize that I learned a tremendous amount in just one day. I especially appreciated the balance of didactic learning and experiential exercises. They incorporated three individual group practice sessions with a personal leader to make sure that each and every participant had the chance to participate and receive individual feedback and mentoring. Then, over and above this, we also had two great demos.

It was amazing and awesome how they managed to include so much in just seven hours! But it didn’t even feel too heavy.

I also liked how Dr. Angela Krumm kept navigating the questions of the online participants, like myself, so we also felt included. I enjoyed it thoroughly, even though I had to attend it from 9.30 PM to 6.00 AM due to my time zone (India). It was extremely worth it.

I strongly recommend these workshops to every therapist all over the world! I do not want to miss a single one of these.

I sincerely appreciate and thank Dr Burns, Dr Jill Levitt and to Dr. Maor Katz and the entire TEAM of FGI for bringing it to us, and for making this amazing learning experience accessible to people far and wide.

Coming in May!

Dr. Jill Levitt and I are offering what I think will be an outstanding workshop on the treatment of unwanted habits and addictions on Sunday, February 10. Our Sunday workshops are tremendously fun, so consider attending if you are interested. You can come in-person or join online.

During the program, you will have the chance to work on one of your own habits / addictions so you will get the double benefit of learning cool new treatment techniques and doing some personal healing at the same time!

You will develop a deeper understanding of Outcome and Process Resistance, and you will learn how to deal with this twin-horned Devil. As you know, TEAM-CBT features many innovative techniques to reduce Outcome and Process Resistance.

Here’s the BAD news. Very few therapists have the skills, insights, or mind-set to deal with resistance, and this is the main cause of therapeutic failure in the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, relationship problems, and habits and addictions.

Here’s the GOOD news. Once you acquire these skills, your clinical effectiveness will soar!

Here are the specifics–
